12 Hour - Peter Brock's chances of claiming his 10th Bathurst victory looked in
good shape as the Bathurst 24 Hour passed the half way mark at Mount
Panorama this morning.

After twelve hours, the #05 Monaro held the race lead with Jason Bright
behind the wheel. The red Monaro has swapped positions with last year's
winning yellow car for the entire race - holding a lead of just over a
minute at half distance.

Changing weather conditions has made life tough for drivers and teams
with a heavy rain shower bringing out the safety car for seven laps after
lap 207.

Driving with Brock, Bright and Greg Murphy - Todd Kelly has enjoyed his
first night time attack at Mount Panorama.

"It is certainly a little bit different driving around here at night and
I have to say I have really enjoyed it," Kelly said.

"We have only had one little problem with the windscreen wiper and our
plan has really been to stick to a pace that we know is kind on the car.

"We need to make sure we don't wear the car out and leave something in
reserve in case we need to push at the end."

Last year's Bathurst 24 Hours winners Cameron McConville, Garth Tander,
Steven Richards and Nathan Pretty held second spot after 252 laps while
David Brabham continued to push to keep the Monaros "honest" - holding
third spot, albeit three laps down.
